Bergen to open Mexican headquarters

Dedicated to land power projects

Bergen Engines will open a sales and service center in Mexico, a move the company said reinforces its commitment to customers across the country and into the wider Latin America and Caribbean region.

The new facility in Querétaro will become the headquarters for the company’s operations in the Latin America region, including commissioning support for upcoming projects, long term service agreements, and ad hoc service needs for the installed fleet. The center will be equipped to conduct overhaul of components as well as storage of critical spare parts. Engine remote monitoring and a training center will also be included. An official opening is planned later in 2022.

“Any customer investing in a capex-intensive, power-solution needs the confidence that their asset will perform with reliability and support for many years into the future,” said Theodore Lorentzos, Regional Sales & Business Development Manager, Americas. “This new investment and direct service support from us as the original equipment manufacturer, gives them just this. This sales and service hub, which is fully dedicated to land power-projects, along with the growing team and our flexible service approach mean that we can support customers both within and beyond Mexico and has enabled us to secure and support new projects as far as Colombia.”

Over the last six years, Bergen Engines has supplied medium-speed engines for a variety of power plants across the Americas with a total installed power capacity of approximately 150 MWe. With the increasing need of power in the region, in particular to support the industry with a reliable and sustainable power supply, Bergen Engines is aiming for significant growth in the coming years.

Aldrich Richter is the managing director of the new entity of Bergen Engines and has over 15 years of experience from the energy sector in Mexico.

“We are leading the energy transition by committing to our customers, to the environment and to the sustainable economic growth of the region,” Richter said. “The Latin American countries require a balanced, flexible and environmentally compatible energy mix to support the most needed economic growth and Bergen Engines is playing an important role towards achieving this objective.”

Bergen Engines recently launched a comprehensive test program towards zero carbon emission engines, allowing a gradual transition from natural gas to 100% green hydrogen fuel, as it becomes commercially available. The aim is to have a commercial solution in the market that will accept hydrogen content of up to 60%, and solutions that can be further developed to accept 100% for new engines to come.
